I didn't purchase your tank because I am never purchasing from Evilbay and it was my understanding that this was the only place it was available.

I believe your tank was selling for around $10 US is that right? If so that would have been way out of my price range (I normally don't spend more than $5 on a 144 scale mini and prefer them around $2). That said I am willing to support folks who are trying to keep our hobby alive by trying something new, so when these start selling on the other site I will try to buy a couple of your models.

I am a big fan of armored cars and would love to see the Puma you created go into production.

1st of all, I wrote to CGD asking where the tanks were and ended up getting 2 from CGD and not going threw eBay at all.

Next, I also have gotten allot of tanks at the $2.00 and below. I was a big buyer if the WTM6 and was at a price of $1.67 per unit, back 3 to 4 years ago. But I know the different between a tank that mite of been made in the thousands and one that was in less then 20.
The price will go up and what is the different if you buy a mass produce tank and get 2 for $10.00 or get 1 for $10.00 that less then 10 people in the world have for now

I to mix and match both 1/144 and Micro Machines Military. Since about the only APC that is out! the M113. I use it for my SPAs. Fot the other tanks of WTM 06, the listed is below

T-80s & Bl/Ea get the MMM BMP Have some 12 companies, but for now only 10 of the BMPs

Merkavas, 4 Com and 4 MMM M113s

USA 6 Com and 6 MMM M2s 144 48 M109A6s

Leopards 16 Com 16 MMM with mostly Fuchs and M2s

Leclerc 5 working on 6, 6 MMM IFVs

Challenger II 8 Com 4 Warriors and 4 MMM M2s. It also has 24 AS90s, 48 Hot Wheels Scorpion & 48 Land Rovers.

I also try again to find anything out there that is in size to my 144 collection! and everything I have up there does work.

eBay by far isn't extinct by a long shot! Till Shapeway has made everything thats out there now. The M24 and the 50s are great for now, but what about the Mk 1, 2, 3, 4, Tiger etc etc etc. And then it becomes a issue of cost. I still collect WTM 06 and if willing I still can find deals at $2.00 or under. Will I find those's prices from Shapeway or PanzerDeopt. I think not.

So unless you have a large groups of people who play war games on a weekly basics and want to get rid of older game peices and replace them with more costly M24s or 26s. The avenge guy will need to find a place where like eBay to do his shopping for less.

For anyone that shops for MMM on eBay will tell you it been a lot more costly now then in the last number of years. I started just about 10 years ago and no one was there and picking were great for about the 1st 5 years. Then one could start seeing the change happening.

I have 12 Mig-29s from 1994 up for trade. 5 years ago I watched a friend bid and won it for over $100.00

Yes its rough, but like I said. How many times are you going to hold it to ones face. Maybe one more coat of paint mite do the trick. but in the end I'm just dam happy to have a M24 and when I sell some Micro's I'll put a order in for 28 more
